On May 28, Futu Holdings fell 6.3% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $103.79/share, with trading volume of $10.87 million.
The decline was triggered by the company's first-quarter earnings release, which missed analyst expectations. Futu reported Q1 revenue of HK$5.86 billion, below the FactSet consensus estimate of HK$5.97 billion. In USD terms, quarterly sales of $746.9 million missed the analyst estimate of $774.2 million by 3.52%. While revenue grew 24.7% year-over-year, net profit fell sharply to HK$831 million from HK$2.14 billion in the prior-year period, with NON-GAAP adjusted net income declining 58.5% year-over-year.
The earnings miss compounds pressure from the recent regulatory crackdown by China's CSRC and seven other government agencies, which imposed approximately RMB 1.85 billion in proposed penalties on Futu for conducting unauthorized cross-border securities, fund, and futures business in mainland China. The stock had partially recovered from last week's 25%+ sell-off following the regulatory announcement but now faces renewed selling pressure on disappointing fundamentals.
